The biggest is dehydration, the second is a result of long term bad husbandry and an animal that has no immune system because of it to protect itself thats an internal bacterial infection, another can be from a female that has an extremely traumatic physical experience during the short period of time that the eggs are passing from developing to forming a shell and can also kill them by leaking into their abdomen. None the less all can be traced to bad or poor husbandry that needs changed. A healthy female will lay eggs at 2 weeks from the beginning of her cycle without any male present, good husbandry causes them to keep making eggs, the older they get the less they will lay, and less often. A healthy female will also absorb eggs while cycling but its not as preferable to happen. If they absorb the cycle starts and ends in about 4 days, the absorbtion happens quickly as if they were there and gone.
